Consider, if the artwork is taken from its site without a record of its original location, what do we lose in terms of historic knowledge? Respond to two or more peers. When responding, take a peer’s subject analysis, and provide the style analysis for his/her work.  This is a discussion, so feel free to contribute brief subject and style observations to multiple posts.  Many eyes produce more insights.
